Title:
RATTLE NOISE FROM HEADLINER AREA
Technical Service Models:
’07 ES 350
Information Bulletin
December 15, 2006
Introduction Some customers may experience a buzz or slight rattle noise from the rear portion of the
headliner when the vehicle hits small sharp bumps. It has been determined that the
source of such a rattle may be the Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS) antenna
located above the headliner between the rear of the sliding roof opening and the top of
the back glass.
To improve this condition, the rigidity of the bracket holding the TPWS Antenna to the
roof cross brace has been increased. Replace the older style receiver assembly with the
new type assembly on vehicles built PRIOR to the starting VIN shown below.
